If you spend 400+ dollars to only play Call of Fucking Fail, you are NOT a gamer.

Oliver Well, all the professional FPS gamers need a central game to compete against each other. Since CoD just seemed to win over all the other shooters out there, CoD is the central FPS game, and hence, the professionals want to become the best they can. And sometimes, that means new gear.

Joel-Peter A gamer to me is someone who plays All games with minimal judgement, provided it's not ONLY the same release each time. I can consider myself a gamer because years of experience, trying all platforms at one point or another and having fun.
Hence why I said ONLY CoD. I was watching Rev 3's twitch stream for PS4, and the people they interviewed are casuals who are wasting their money on it.

Sean Lawdy. So really you're judging "casual gamers" (of whom make up the majority of the market nowadays, what with the invention of the smartphone, and FB games) against "hardcore gamers" (hardcore meaning playing multiple times per week, for a period of an hour or more at a time)?
I only really play 360 and computer. Does that make me a gamer? Or does the fact that I dont own/haven't played every console exclude me?
And frankly, there is just as much skill involved in mastering a console shooter as a PC one. Get off your elitist horse.
